You are bidding on a very solid, original-unrestored 1967 Mustang convertible with some very desirable additional parts to create a unique Shelby or California Special tribute car!

This Mustang was last licensed and driven in 1978 and sat outdoors until 1982 at which time the carpet was removed and it went into dry-indoor storage, where it's been for the past 32 years. It is still in it's original factory finish, meaning it's not full of bondo. This car is not a rust-bucket, it is very solid for an original-unrestored car! The rust that is in the car is from carpet and dirt moisture. Here's where there is notable rust to address: The outer-most edge of the driver's floorboard where it meets the inner-rocker; One small spot in the right-rear floorboard near the base of the driveshaft hump (both from carpet moisture); The very bottom rear inner-quarter panel on the passenger side; The front inner-fender top rail where the shock tower overlaps the sheet metal (two quarter-sized spots on each inner-fender). Here's the really good news about rust: The unibody frame is completely solid from front to back, including the torque boxes; The hood is completely straight and solid inside and out; The front fenders are completely solid; The outer-rockers are completely solid; The outer quarters are straight and solid; As you can plainly see in the photos, the great majority of the floorboards are solid. As you can also see in the photos, the inside trunk area and inner-wheel wells are completely solid.

The front & side factory-original tinted glass is all completely flawless, as is all the stainless trim.

The Mustang comes with a clean Minnesota title. The car was originally a 6-cylinder automatic car as you can see by the VIN code. there is no motor included. The original transmission & torque converter are still in the car, along with the starter, alternator and the original tire jack & handle are in the trunk. I do have several other parts that will go with the car such as: a good 9" rear axle assembly, rear-shock mounts, attaching hardware, heavy front-sway bar, V8 motor mounts, a manual clutch/brake pedal assembly (all these parts came from a 1968 Cougar GT) and a flawless chrome radio outer-bezel with inner & outer control knobs. 

The fiberglass trunk lid, fiberglass rear quarter extensions, sequential taillight panel and quarter panel side-scoops are all originals from a 1968 California Special. They are factory Ford and are the same as used on an original Shelby. The trunk lid is excellent throughout with no cracks or flaws inside or out. The fiberglass LH rear-quarter extension has no flaws, the RH has a crack and a puncture near the bottom behind the bumper area. The LH quarter side-scoop has no flaws, the RH shows repaired damage on the inside. The fiberglass taillight panel has one very minor flaw, the top-right outermost attaching screw ear is missing the outer-corner (about half the diameter of a dime). There are no other flaws or issues and the taillight assemblies are complete and in very good condition. The chrome outer-bezels do have some light surface pitting. The light wire harness assemblies are both nice with no flaws and all six steel bulb access covers are nice with no flaws.  

Please, please, don't ask for a "buy it now"; I don't want cars, boats, girlfriends, or trades of any kind; Don't try and impress me with how much you know about Mustangs; I won't sell the Shelby/California Special items separately, it all goes as a package, you part it out if you need to; If you don't have the money to buy it, then don't bid! Sorry, just getting all that out of the way. Please do feel free to contact me with valid questions or concerns regarding the Mustang. I also have 40 additional picture I am willing send to serious buyers by request. Rest assured my reserve not out there in "neverland" and is very realistic for the quality of this package!

NOTE: Do see my other auction for the RARE Mustang high-performance gauge cluster with the 8000 RPM tachometer to compliment this great project car!

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
